Letter To The Editor, William W. Berg Jan 1968

Letter To The Editor, William W. Berg

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

I feel moved to call to your attention an item from Mr. Jackson's article in the February issue of The Iowa Science Teachers' Journal, "A Method of Teaching Evolution in High School." Though it is not the major area of the article's discussion, the author's treatment of the Earth's origin irritated me.

Fortifying Laboratory Inquiry Through The Use Of Scientific Articles, Bernard W. Benson Jan 1968

Fortifying Laboratory Inquiry Through The Use Of Scientific Articles, Bernard W. Benson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Using scientific articles in teaching is in itself no innovation. Baumel and Berger (1965) provided an excellent approach to this task. I find no argument with the format they proposed. However, I do question their statement which follows concerning student outcomes from such experiences.

Minutes Of The Meeting Of The Flat Society Of Lower Speight Avenue, O. T. Hayward

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

This is a review of an effort-largely experimental-to improve the introductory geology course at Baylor University by involving the student in actual research in the teaching process and in geology. An effort has been made, and will be expanded, to remove most of the artificial restraints imposed by formal lecture-laboratory courses.

The Overhead Projector As An Aid To Laboratory Instruction, Larry L. Schenken Jan 1968

The Overhead Projector As An Aid To Laboratory Instruction, Larry L. Schenken

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In many cases the science teacher overlooks the possibility of using the overhead projector during laboratory sessions. Projectors often are covered with dust jackets and shoved into a comer like some unwanted piece of old furniture as soon as a lab activity is started. With a bit of planning these machines may become an integral part of almost any laboratory experience.

Early Ontogenesis In Chickens - Some Quantitative Measurements, Kashmiri L. Arora

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Developing bird's eggs have been a material of choice for the workers investigating various physical and chemical phenomena associated with development since the turn of the twentieth century. Very recently, attention has been focused on the examination and elucidation of the roles played by genetics and various extrinsic environmental factors in the development of early embryos.

Can A Young Man Whose Mind Is On Girls, Booze, Skiing, And High-Class Parties Win The Nobel Prize?, Peter Farb Jan 1968

Can A Young Man Whose Mind Is On Girls, Booze, Skiing, And High-Class Parties Win The Nobel Prize?, Peter Farb

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The Double Helix is a brief story of the structure of the genetic material DNA. As such, it is exceedingly valuable to the historian of science. But another, somewhat irreverent aspect of the book, to be discussed later in this review, makes it an important document for the general reader as well and one that deserves wide reading.

Flexible-Modular Scheduling With The Slow Learner, Eugene Balk Jan 1968

Flexible-Modular Scheduling With The Slow Learner, Eugene Balk

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

At Mason City High School this year something new has been added in the biology curriculum. It is part of the New Design, better known as Phase II Flex. Approximately 160 sophomores are in the program and are known as low achievers for various reasons. One of the reasons is that they are no longer interested in school. The lack of interest may be due to the traditional school day (fifty-five minutes, six periods a day) or to the fact that the students have never achieved success in anything they have attempted in school.

The Prediction Of Geometry Grades For Seven Linn County, Iowa, Schools, Bernice Rosemary Barrow

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It was the purpose of this investigation (1) to determine the relative value of the Algebra I grade, the Iowa Tests of Educational Development quantitative thinking score, and the Iowa Tests of Educacational [sic] Development composite score in predicting the geometry grade, and (2) to present the findings, using two predictor variables, that would provide the best possible estimate of success in geometry. The study involved 219 students in seven schools in Linn County, Iowa, who were enrolled in geometry in 1966-67. Selection of the schools was made on the basis of information about the Algebra I and geometry textbooks …

Testing An Earth-Science Aid, Florence Black Jan 1967

Testing An Earth-Science Aid, Florence Black

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Making a collection is not always considered an erudite use of laboratory time. It has been said that study of rocks, for example, entails a good deal more than discovering that a specific specimen can be assigned a specific name. This is freely admitted to be true, but this writer has discovered that assigning the proper name to a specimen demands a more careful and memorable examination of discriminating details of rock types, for example, and that it leads to a useful familiarity with variations of a single rock type.
